Why Did I Get Married? Page #3
I'm not going to Jamaica
with you ever again.
No? Come on,
don't say that.
So, Marcus, y'all still at it, huh?
Yeah, she ain't ever gonna change.
Y'all ain't never gonna change.
It's both of you. It ain't just her.
# You're my light in the dark #
# Guiding me, guiding me home #
# Your patience is all I need #
# Baby #
I don't know what
this is all about.
But I am going up this mountain
to save my marriage.
God, make it all right.
You are the ruler of all things.
Jesus, make it all right.
All right, Angela.
What's going on
with you and Marcus?
You just got here,
and you're starting already.
So we drop the kids off
at his baby mama.
We argue about her,
we argue about the kids,
but most of it is his ex.
She drive me crazy.
Ooh, I'm glad I don't
have that drama.
Yeah, be very glad.
about to catch a case.
And I hate to have
my daughter around his son.
I know that that's her brother,
but the things that she says
to my daughter about me...
that's... that's not cool.
Have you asked Marcus
to talk to her?
Are you kidding me?
That's what starts
the fights in the first place.
And then he lie and say he did,
but I know he didn't.
Well, how do you know
he's lying?
'Cause every time
Marcus lies, he says,
"Know what I'm saying?"
Every time!
How's the barber shop, man?
It's good. Cutting so much hair,
I'm making, like, 5,000 a week,
know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I know what you're saying.
Man, I got to come see
my goddaughter, man.
Yeah, you do.
But leave her at home
if y'all gonna be arguing like that.
Oh, man, come on.
We've been arguing ever since we met.
I know that, but look
like it's getting worse to me.
Hey, that's how
we love each other.
Now, you do your thing,
we do ours.
OK. Fine. I'm just saying.
Besides, I like the arguing,
'cause the making up is insane.
At least you get to argue, man.
Me and Dianne ain't
spending no time together.
She's so busy, man.
It's crazy.
Yeah. We ain't had sex in months.
Ugh!
I was wondering why you so strong.
I'll tell you this.
I'm getting tired of begging her
to spend some time with me.
I'll tell you that.
I need you to give me a shot.
What the hell
you talking about?
I've been burning for 3 days.
Burning how?
Oh, you've been burning.
After burn... pee... burn.
- Yeah.
- Oh, yeah. OK.
All right. I'll call
my nurse and have her
overnight something
up here to us.
Thanks.
Yeah. It's all good.
So you not gonna ask?
You want to tell me?
Not really.
OK, let me ask you this.
Was it Angela that burned you?
No, man.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey. Have you slept
with her since then?
Yeah.
Angela's not the type
to ask for it.
She take it.
Yeah, but you could've
gave it to her.
Now, you better pray to God that it's
something a shot can take care of.
You're right, man.
I'm just saying, if you're gonna
step out on your wife,
what's wrong with
using some protection?
See, that's what I don't get.
I know this, man.
Don't you think
I'm dealing with enough already
knowing what I did?
All right, fine.
You got to tell her.
So she can get checked out.
See, now you trying
to get me killed.
You're man enough
to lay there and get it,
be man enough to tell your wife.
OK!
When?
All right, we got
a lot of wood inside.
How much y'all think we need?
This ought to get us
through it, man.
I don't know how bad this storm's
supposed, supposed to be.
There you go.
Whoo! Think we got enough.
Is that Mike?
Yeah, but... that ain't Shelia he's with.
Whoo!
Fellas!
What's up?
Hey!
What's happening, brother?
I see y'all getting the place
ready for me. Hmm?
It's all about you, Mike.
Well...
Hey, Mike... what's up?
I'm good!
Ladies, hey.
Hey, Dianne.
Hey, Patricia.
Angela.
Who is this?
I'm Trina.
I'm a friend of Mike and Shelia's.
My fault, my fault.
Shelia invited Trina
when she found out
that there was an extra bedroom.
You guys cool with that?
Uh, yeah. You know,
any friend of Shelia's
is a friend of ours, right?
Uh, yeah, sure.
Uh, no. She's gonna
have to come up with
some money on this trip
or something.
Of course.
She's pretty.
- Yeah.
- And single.
Looks that way.
Get her ass out of here.
Y'all, where is Shelia?
Mike, where is Shelia?
Oh. I made her drive. We flew.
- What?
- You did what?
Look, I wasn't paying
for another seat for her big ass.
Y'all know she fat as hell.
Mike, are you hearing
what you're saying right now?
I can't believe...
did he just say that she's driving?
I'm still on the
"fat as hell" part.
Have you looked at yourself
in the mirror lately?
You and your bald head?
It's 'cause I'm using
your hair products.
Trina, beware.
Angela, also known as
the bitter one.
Heh. I'm also known
as the ass-kicking one.
Angie.
Mike, are you serious?
You let Shelia drive up here alone?
Do you have any idea
how long that drive is?
Mike, Mike, man, come on.
The weather's supposed
to be bad tonight.
Maybe you should call her
and tell her get a flight tomorrow.
Look, she is fine!
OK? Drop it.
OK, I am going to call her.
This is ridiculous.
Shelia is a big girl.
Literally.
Look, she's fine. OK?
Come on. What smells good, girl?
You cooking?
Mm. I don't know,
but I'm starving.
She can carry it.
Shelia, give us a call
when you get this message.
We just want to know you're OK.
Straight to voicemail.
"A friend of hers. "
How come we're just
meeting her? Right?
And if she's such
a good friend,
why is she here with Mike and why
didn't she drive up here with Shelia?
Good point.
That's what we would have done.
Well, y'all, before
we get a little too crazy
with this, let's find out
what's going on
and make sure we don't pass
too much judgment on her.
Agreed?
- Agreed.
- No.
- No?
- No. I don't like her.
Good think I brought
my Vaseline and sneakers.
# I can love you better #
No, sir.
Not all these hours of this.
Something upbeat.
That's more like it.
Something that'll uplift me.
Not make me want
to drive off this bridge.
# Just let your body just... #
Want some more?
No, babe. I'm good.
So, did you tell them?
No.
Oh, we know about the nomination.
The nomination is just a front.
She won the award!
Ah ha!
It's a really,
really big deal in D.C.
So I would love
for all of you to be there.
- Of course.
- You know we're there.
All right, you've got
8 months to prepare.
So that's plenty of time.
Oh, I'll be there,
and I'll drink to that.
You drink to nouns.
Ha!
Well, maybe one day
I'll drink to you getting a damn job.
Hey, Marcus got
a job, guys. I'll drink to that!
Marcus paid the
mortgage this month.
We all should drink to that.
Ha ha!
Come on, Angela.
I have a job.
Marcus, you work for me.
If I didn't own that salon,
you wouldn't have nothing!
You wasn't saying
that when I was playing pro ball
before I got hurt.
OK, two years of pro ball,
8 years of broke.
Touchdown!
